You see how Larry Flynt sealed Bob Livingston's sanctimonious mouth up for good. We remember Livingston as the ass clown who continually went after and criticized the holy HELL out of Bill Clinton over his affair with Monica Lewinsky. Even had the damn nerve to suggest that Bill Clinton should resign right after he did (From his speaker ship role). Uh no

I remember Flynt saying something to the effect of "You have worse skeletons/affairs in your closet Mr. Livingston." And ewww, Livingston was taking over for another big, fat, sanctimonious, hypocritical sexually addicted hog in Newt Gingrich, who was having affairs & screwing more women than janitors were screwing light bulbs into light sockets during his time on the Hill.

What a big, smelly dirt bag he STILL IS.

to the degree that past associates who at least somewhat respected them no longer know them? He, Giuliani, Flynn aren't the only ones, but are the only names coming to me at the moment.

To be a member of this group, a definite but inexplicable change to dishonorable, self destructive and often irrational seeming behaviors would have started within the past several years and be consistently on behalf of Trump and/or Republican endeavors and more often than not seem to benefit Russia.

people suspected a stroke or other brain damage in Giuliani because of his bizarre change of behavior when Trump was running, but it's been years now and he's kept very busy. Also, brain damage in him does not explain dramatic, radical changes of behavior to various degrees in others associated with today's Republicans in DC.

61. Friends/relatives who've lived in SC for years told me about Graham ...
Wed Oct 23, 2019, 05:54 AM
Oct 2019

Around the time of Bill Clinton's impeachment. We didn't have all of the media outlets we have now, nor was the internet as potent as it is today, so back then it was a big deal, especially in SC. That seat Graham filled as we KNOW belonged to that old, nasty, disgusting, perverted KKK child RAPIST Strom Thurmond, and before him you had a succession of white, nasty, perverted KKK members who were pro-lynching/pro/segregation/pro-slavery/pro-succession presiding there in SC of course.

Back to Graham, friends/relatives told me that his sexuality is the worst hidden secret. However, I don't think it's just him being "officially outed" as gay that's turned Graham in to a living, breathing 64 year old, treasonous, human weather vein and tRumputin sycophant. It's something far worse and more than his 'alleged' sexuality which is what's turned him into something I cannot even describe it's so horrible. He and tRump are bottomless pits. Now that I think about it, I remember them also telling me that he was a piece of shit then. So even during his so-called 'friendship' with John McCain, he was a piece of human shit. Well, you SEE the way he defended Fascist Fatso's use of the term lynching yesterday Yeah, Graham's days are numbered too. He may win election this next time, but his personal life of attaching his lips to tRump's fat, treasonous ass has ruined whatever little bit of humaneness he had left in him.

Yesterday I saw him on the news, he was bright red and sweat was dripping off his nose for god sake. No job is worth taxing your CNS that badly.

Don’t know what it is, but he’s scared of something. Maybe someone threatened his life, or his sisters. Nothing else could make panic like that.

The fit is so snug, it is hard to imagine anything else.

He appears to be gay so there is a strong possibility it has something to do with that.

This is what the Russians do.
This is what Sally Yates was concerned about with Flynn.
This is what the National Enquirer has done - they'll bury a story for money.
This is what Trump has done.
And it appears that this is what is being done to Trump.
And it may be being done to AG Barr and others
